This document is for small ideas similar to the lw shortform feature

  • Keyboard shortcuts are great. But figuring out how to set them well for applications or across applications I care about is really annoying.
    • I now have a keyboard map to document my current layout for window-manager shorcuts
    • How do I manage collisions between english and German keyboards?
      • Problematic keys: \"[\", \"]\", \"\\" and \"/\" are accessible without a modifier key on english keyboards and key combinations involving them tend to not work with a german keyboard layout
    • What my current setup looks like (and how this factors into things)
      • Operating system
        • Browser/Firefox
          • Trydactyl (for vim keybinds and much more inside the browser)
            • webapps
            • specific websites
        • Text-Editor
        • Other Applications
    • Different platforms have different keyboard shortcut philosophy sets.
      • VSCode vs Emacs vs. Vim
    • Example: Different
    • Story:
    • link: gwern has an interesting take on this.
